For further information please see FATF website: Egmont Group update Egmont Group Case study: Misuse of Legitimate Businesses A Northern European FIU received a suspicious transaction report from a banking institution concerning an amount of almost US $ 400,000 (in the national currency). The money was paid from a company in a neighbouring country into a lawyer s clients account. Shortly afterwards, the money was converted into US American dollars and transferred to a bank in America. An analysis by the national FIU revealed that the money was the proceeds of fraud. The payment from the neighbouring country had been originally related to a construction project. However, the lawyer involved had fraudulently used the money for his private investments, and had sought to use the accounts of the legal firm within which he worked to facilitate the laundering process. He had thought that the financial institution would not question transactions associated with such a well established firm. It turned out that there were two more incidents of fraud related to loans. The lawyer and his accomplice were both convicted of frauds involving a total of almost US $ 950,000. Both individuals were sentenced to three years imprisonment and ordered to pay US$950,000 in damages. The lawyer was also struck off from the register of lawyers, and permanently barred from acting as a legal representative in the future.
